Biden is set to tell us about his plan to deal with this new surge.
WaPo:
President Biden will outline a “robust plan to stop the spread of the delta variant and boost covid-19 vaccinations” on Thursday, the White House said.
It’s expected to be a significant speech at a turning point for the United States, where hopes that vaccinations would ease the strain on hospitals and allow more social freedoms were dampened by the spread of the highly contagious variant. Biden also plans to call for a global summit, to be held during the U.N. General Assembly later this month, to respond to the coronavirus crisis and boost vaccine supply to the developing world.
The pressure on Biden is increasing as the public health outlook worsens. The seven-day average of coronavirus deaths across the United States was 1,524 as of Wednesday, compared to 509 one month ago, amid lackluster vaccine uptake in many states and controversies over mask and vaccine mandates.
